I was an advisor for a student in the program last semester. Don't know a ton about the program through personal experience, but I went to a few of the thesis presentations and they were pretty solid. I know the working faculty who teach courses are pretty top notch... people like Carin Goldberg, Paula Scher, and Steven Heller is a co-chair, so if you like that sort of New York school of graphic design, it's a pretty good resource for hands on learning. I don't think the courses get quite as conceptual as say a Cooper Union, Cranbrook, or CalArts, but it's probably what you make of it. They probably offer some decent job placement opportunities if you plan on staying in NY after graduating there. Good luck.

Also, looking at your site, you might benefit more from a program like Yale if your goal with an MFA to to push your personal work further. Much of what you have already seems to be at the level of the SVA MFA program. If you want an MFA degree mostly to open up teaching possibilities in the future, you could try something cheaper like Hunter College. It would really depend on what direction you want to go with your work and your degree as I think SVA would lean you more toward commercial graphic arts.
